An Egyptian murdered his wife, then chopped her body into pieces and fed them to dogs to hide the crime because she was allegedly involved in illicit relationships with young men of the locality.

“Yes, I killed my wife and chopped her body into small pieces and fed it the dogs to hide the crime,” said 50-year old husband Khalid M.

Khalid told Al Youm Al Sabea’a newspaper that she was involved in illicit relationships with young men of the area and she also prevented him from exercising his marital rights.

Khalid told the daily that he had married his wife from the Al Mahalla Al Kubra area and had a daughter and son through her. Life was happy when he lived with his family in Kafr El Zayat town of Tanta governorate.

“But differences began to arise between me and my wife when she insisted on leaving Kafr El Zayat, the place where I was born and lived, and go to live near her family in Al  Mahalla,” he said.

Khalid refused to move out from his family house because his father would be alone in Kafr El Zayat and the fight between the wife and husband ended in divorce.

He, however, continued to live in his Kafr El Zayat house even after his father died. But life became difficult when he found raising the children tough and decided to marry for the second time.

He said relatives suggested to him to marry a girl in a neighbouring village. “I went with them where I saw the girl and agreed to marry her. She was younger to me by twenty-five years. I was in a hurry to marry her as I fell in love with this girl because she was beautiful. I quickly made arrangements for the wedding.”

Within few days, she became his new wife. He said she had a dominant role in the family because she was good looking and he did not want to upset her.

“Despite the fact that I lived with her for some time, she exploited me and demanded that I change the ownership of the land and house to her name,” he alleged.

“After I’d given her power of attorney for my pension, the land and the house, she demanded divorce after some time. I realised that she was involved in illicit relationship with the boys of the neighbourhood.

“I also found vulgar video clips in her mobile phone. Not only that, I discovered that she went out after I fell asleep and returned in the morning. At that moment, I decided to kill her and I waited till she fell asleep. I went to the kitchen and brought a knife and slit her throat.”

After he was sure that she’s dead, he brought a hacksaw and cut off her hands and feet and then separated her head from the body.

“I put her body parts in plastic bags and then dumped them in a canal near the village where we live. I went back to the house, cleaned the place and removed blood stains. I stayed there till the police arrived the next evening and arrested me. I am not guilty as I defended my honour; and I don’t regret what I did,” he said.

The daily said Kafr El Zayat Police Station had received reports of a woman's body parts found in bags in the town.

Police rushed to the scene of the crime and began investigation. It started investigating the report of any missing woman in the area. Police found that Khalid’s wife was missing  from home.

Police arrested the husband who admitted to killing his wife and the case has been referred to the public prosecution.
